Failed to get an auto update from www.download.windowsupdate.com
Hi Hello, I'm getting a bunch these messages every hour in my Windows 2003 application log. The servers in question do not have outbound internet access. Message: Failed auto update retrieval of third-party root list sequence number from: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt> with error: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation. What does this mean? How can I manually update this? We do not have Microsoft Updates enabled on the servers and use wsus to push our patches. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
